    Emergency! Barred Rock sleeping like others who died

    Update All the chickens are still alive. They seem to be okay and we've got some things to help them that we're trying out. Thanks again for all the helpful feedback.

    Emergency! Barred Rock sleeping like others who died

    We've done some more research and we think coccidiosis doesn't exactly match what we're seeing. She's behaving more like our Red Ranger who is the same age. On the 16th of this month we found the Ranger sitting by herself and not moving much. We brought her inside and she didn't eat anything all...

    We moved them into the chicken "chalet" on the 19 of June. Recently the temperatures have been anywhere from low 90s to mid 70s. She has had some feed and water since we separated her from the rest.

    Thanks for the replies! I was really hoping there'd be a natural cure, like herbs. If it is coccidiosis, why don't all the chickens have symptoms? Our neighbor has guineas that "owned" our land before we came. Could they be a factor? Also, she sneezed several times this morning, might she have...

    Emergency! Barred Rock sleeping like others who died

    We have a month and a half old Barred Rock and she's smaller than our other four Rocks and has fewer feathers. Up until yesterday she was very active and seemed perfectly healthy. Yesterday we saw her standing still a lot and kinda bobbing in place as she breathed. This morning she wouldn't...

    Hi everyone, Our family had chickens 16 years ago before moving to a condo. Now we have 4.5 acres in the South and about a month and half ago we bought 16 chicks (5 Barred Rocks, 7 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Red Rangers and one mystery chick). Unfortunately the mystery chick died a couple weeks after we...
